New Capabilities Introduced in Oracle Access Governance

The following new capabilities are introduced in Oracle Access Governance:

  • Approvals: The Approvals page in the Oracle Access Governance console displays a list access request requiring your attention. These requests are listed as one access per row.
  • View My Requests: The My Access Requests screen, in the Oracle Access Governance console displays a list of access request raised by the logged-in user for Self or for others. You can either view the details, cancel a request or can provide information on the requests.
  • Request Access: As an Oracle Access Governance user, you can request access to resources and roles. Requests can be made for yourself, or for others. This process creates an access request which is subject to an approval workflow.
  • Manage Access Bundle: With this release, you have the ability to create and manage access bundles. An Access Bundle is a collection of permissions that packages access to resources, application features, and functionality into a requestable unit. To access a particular resource, you do not have to request each permission associated with that resource individually, instead you request an access bundle containing all permissions associated with that resource. This simplifies the process of requesting resource permissions.
  • Manage Policies: Using policies you can now provide access to resources within your organization. These policies associate resources and permissions with identities by means of roles and access bundles. You can create and manage policies by using Oracle Access Governance Console.
  • Manage Roles: You can now create and manage roles using Oracle Access Governance console. These roles are a group of access bundles. The access bundles contained within a role can span multiple targets. To use a role you must associate identities to it via a policy.
  • Manage Approval Workflow: You as a resource administrator can design, monitor, and manage an approval workflow by specifying the required approval level and the number of approvers. 
    In Oracle Access Governance, every permission, access request, or role that needs to be assigned to a user must be processed through an approval workflow. Later, as a Permission Manager you can use these workflows to obtain approvals before assigning or revoking user privileges.
  • Integrate with Target Systems: You can now connect Oracle Access Governance with the following systems by entering connection details and credentials for the target system.
    • Active Directory
    • Oracle e-Business User Management (UM)
    • Oracle e-Business Employee Reconciliation (HRMS)
